Red Virginia, Mountain Obama, Take Him Home Country Roads

Whoops, the sheen is coming off Barack Hussein Obama.  No, I don't mean he's in the first stages of vitiligo.  I'm talking about in a political sense.  For yesterday, America took the first tentative steps towards bringing down this Democrat administration.  Admittedly conservative Americans have a long road to travel before the dusky Karl Marx is finally sent packing back to the highways and byways of Illinois, but at least the air of almost papal infallibility that surrounded his coronation 364 days ago is beginning to smell ever so slightly unpleasant.

Voters have just returned Republican governors in Virginia and New Jersey.  The former is remarkable insofar as it was one of the swing states that went Democrat blue for Obama last year, yet within 12 months sufficent disillusionment has set in to the extent that the state is now gubernatorial red.  In New Jersey the result is even more remarkable.  New Jersey hasn't given support to the Republicans presidentially since 1988 and gubernatorially since 2002.  It is even more amazing when you consider the black Messiah also spent so much time on the campaign trail in NJ on behalf of the incumbent Jon Corzine.

What does it say for the American political scene?  Perhaps it is an indication that Americans have had a taste of old-fashioned socialism for a year and they don't like what they see.  A sharp suit, a perma-smile and a rows of Donny Osmond-eque teeth can't disguise what Obama's politics stand for: radicalism borne out of an association with radicals for most of his adult political life.  Liberal Europe loves Obama because he personfies what they would like the rest of America to be.  Maybe Americans are slowly turning their backs for precisely that reason.
